Potato Salad
I am obsessed with balsamic vinegar…and dill. For those who have tried my some of my recipes you know that I have both in ALOT of my go to recipes. But balsamic vinegar in potato salad is really something else, it kicks it up a big notch. I do have to admit, it turns it looking brown, so its not the most beautiful potato salad, but the taste makes up for it!
I like using the little potatoes in this recipe as I think they are really cute, but really any potato will work. I keep my little potatoes whole with the skin on. When you are mixing everything together use a fork to lightly mash the potatoes into chunks so all the dressing gets absorbed.
The flavors intensify over time, so making this the day before you serve it is highly recommended, but not fully necessary. But it really should be served cold. Store left overs in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Note: this recipe uses a raw egg, like most of my recipes, if you are not comfortable with a raw egg, you can cook it to your desired comfort level and blend really well. Or you can substitute the egg and oil for mayonnaise.
Fun fact about me, I have always thought that potato was spelled potatoE, yes with an e at the end, so this was extremely hard for me to write :)
